INTRODUCTION.
The degree of ability attained in any department of knowledge depends
finally upon the amount of effort put forth ; for whatever may be said of the
value of " influence and culture/' the only real training the individual receives,
from the standpoint of educational results, is that acquired by independent
effort.
The all-important principle in education, however, lies back of this ques-
tion of effort, and concerns the means by which this effort is aroused, and the
material upon which it is based. This principle, stated broadly, is that the
content of all our knowledge is primarily derived from experience, and that
the quality of our ideas corresponds with the quality of the things by which
we have been influenced. It is not sufficient for those who are responsible for
the education of children to say that their pupils can do this or that admir-
ably, with precision and despatch, for these very qualities may mean the
violation of some principle of natural healthful development ; so that, when
we say a child can read music correctly and rapidly, it is but proper that
we should examine the processes by which he has learned, and should test
carefully the quality of material on which his study has been based, that we
may satisfy ourselves whether the work done will stand the test of art educa-
tion for the child.
Some would test the child's progress in music by the mere ability to read
at sight, and would consider it sufficient if to this mere power of utterance were
added a semblance of proper expression. They forget that these qualities
of correct expression and artistic ideals cannot be added to mere ability as
decorations are added to wood or stone. They must be born through the spirit
of the endeavor that brought power to the individual. This principle is not a
new one in education, and it seems strange that in all the different branches
this battle must be fought over. Nearly every branch of education has already
been reformed by the force of these simple truths ; and it is almost unaccount-
able that music, the most sensitive of the arts, the language of the emotions,
should be the last to conform to them.
The first essential, then, is that the child should have a sufficient musical
experience as the basis for his training ; the second, that his interest, aroused
through this experience, should be properly directed so that he may be devel-
oped in a knowledge of music and its elements.
INTRODUCTION.
The author of the Modern Music Series assumes that children possess
musical instincts that demand recognition at the beginning, and that they are
entitled to the best in music as well as the best in literature ; that they can be
taught to read music through the use of simple, beautiful melodies, instead of
exercises and songs made for the occasion, and that practice makes a deeper
impression on the child if it is secured through melodies that appeal to him,
and awaken in him the true spirit of song. It is not necessary, in order to pave
the way for future development, to weaken the character of the music used.
As the co-ordination of the study of art, history, geography, and literature
reenforces the power of the mind through the reaction of each upon the other,
so the use of interesting melodies stimulates the effort to grasp the elements of
which they are composed.
The Modern Music Series, instead of requiring children to advance through
exercises which confine their activities to purely mechanical processes, fur-
nishes an opportunity for practice of the highest order, and at the same time
gives the children pure melody at each step.
The conclusion is that technique in music, like all formal sides of vital art,
to be rightly learned, must be gained from observation and study in the art
itself, and consequently all knowledge and power must be derived from and
related to actual experience in song. It is only when songs are presented im-
providently, at the expense of the child's understanding, that the true pedago-
gical end is defeated. But if song is used according to a pedagogical plan, it
may be made to reveal to the pupil all the elements of which it is composed.
SUGGESTIONS TO TEACHERS.
In this volume the children should learn, by imitation, to sing and enjoy the
melodies to be found in Part I. They should then make observations upon the
rhythm, by recognizing its pulses, with hand-beat or some other way, and of
the tonal characteristics by comparing the simpler phrases with the scale itself.
This may be presented orally, or indicated from a tone-ladder or similar device.
In this way, through singing, the children will become familiar with different
kinds of rhythm (double, triple, etc.), and with the simpler intervals of the
scale. This training in the recognition of form should be carried on until the
children have acquired a vocabulary of typical forms which can be sung with
the same freedom and spontaneity with which they sing their songs. The
attention of the children may be directed to the characters upon the staff, and
they may learn to follow the simpler scale passages and intervals through the
notes which represent them. The more definite study of the staff notation,
however, should be reserved for Part II.
INTRODUCTION. 5
Having acquired familiarity with the elements of time and tune, so that
through singing, observation, and finally, definite practice, they are known
and recognized, the child may be expected in Part II. to use and test the knowl-
edge and power thus gained. In fact, the experiences in Parts I. and II.
may be quite closely related ; and it will be found, perhaps, that the best pro-
gress can be made by furnishing opportunity e .j„ .uciependent effort, as given
in Part II., almost from the beginning of Part I.
In Part II. much of the very simplest song material has been provided.
Each little melody presents its own problem — its scale fragment, intervals,
and rhythmic contrasts. These occur again and again in different tunes and
in various combinations, and each time they are identified they become more
surely a part of the child's musical vocabulary. The fact of their forming a
part of some interesting song-story serves to impress them more firmly upon
the mind of the pupil.
In Part III. many of the songs are too difficult to be sung entirely by note,
but may be learned partly by imitation and partly by note. Among these are
songs of the seasons, and songs for special occasions.
The three parts in this volume admit of six essential modes of procedure,
viz. :
1. Rote singing. Spontaneous rote singing should be an important feature
of the daily music lesson in all the primary grades. It should be practiced
frequently in any grade when it is necessary to put the children in a melodic
frame of mind.
2. Song-inspired interval drill. The children should learn to sing short
melodic phrases (intervals and scale fragments), the relation of such phrases
to the song on the one hand and the scale on the other to be made plain to
them at all times. A good many songs will have to be treated in this way
and the process followed up by careful drill, the teacher having clearly in
mind at all times the object to be accomplished. All interval practice should
be given with melodic progressions in view.
3. Sight singing. For this purpose Part II. furnishes an abundance of
varied and simple melody. In order that the children may be trained to think
melodically, they should at first receive frequent help from the teacher.
4. Singing by note and by ear in combination. During the early stages of
sight-reading simple melodies should be taught, first by imitation and then
sung with their syllables. The teacher thereupon shows the children the
written expression of the melody, pointing to the notes in the meantime.
While this process alone will not develop independence, it is necessary in
order to encourage flexibility of thought, and to make a connecting link be-
tween spontaneous expression and intellectual effort. The children should
be required frequently to imitate the teacher in singing familiar tunes with
6 INTRODUCTION.
syllables instead of words. By this means they will learn to associate scale
names with scale passages and intervals.
5. The study of songs by note and by rote. There are many beautiful, easy
songs that are valuable for sight-singing practice, although they contain a
phrase, or possibly a line, too difficult for the children to read. While the
mechanical teacher would discard such songs, because they do not conform to
his ideas of gradation, they are most valuable, because they give the children
glimpses of higher ideals as they go along. The easy lines, therefore, should
be sung by note, and the teacher should come to the rescue when the more
difficult passages are reached.
6. Writing melodies from memory. Written work is a valuable aid to the
memory. Children will acquire a more definite knowledge of the staff notation
by the practice of writing music. Intervals are thus visualized, and become
more firmly fixed in the mind. After the children have acquired a fair
vocabulary of type forms that can be sung at call, or from the staff, they
should be required to write very simple melodies that they know by heart.
Short phrases should be dictated at first, such as the following :
musm
The teacher may also dictate melodies by calling the scale names. The
latter process, of course, is not an ear test.
Attention is called to " Special Studies " to be found on pages 68 and 69.
Thus through the three parts of this book the child is led from step to
step in such a way that he will understand and enjoy music, and acquire the
power to read and render with expression the songs within his range of
taste and ability. The methods here outlined are sure to benefit the most
unmusical children, while they will greatly interest and profit those who
have a keen appreciation of and love for music. In so far as the author h^s
accomplished this high aim, and has thus contributed to the enjoyment and
improvement of the children, will there come satisfaction for this effort.

Note: — The children should be required to recognize and count the rhythm (double,
triple, etc.) of the songs with which they are familiar. They should occasionally com-
pare the rhythm of the different songs with the illustrations given above. This may be
accomplished by singing while marching, or while one or more of the pupils are imitating
the ticking of the clock, the puffing of the locomotive, or by other concrete examples.
For Rests and Comparative time values see page 110.

As children in the primary grades are expected to master certain combina-
tions of numbers, so in music, they should be expected to recognize and sing
readily from the staff- or by dictation, certain type forms of melody. Each indi-
vidual pupil should be made to feel that this is his problem in music — a basis of
knowledge that must be acquired and demonstrated.
The following melodic types may be found in the preceding songs. They
should be presented in different keys from the blackboard, or by dictation, and
should be made a definite part of the child's musical vocabulary.

Father Christmas.

Tr. from the German.

-ft— N — fr
1. Father Christmas, Father Christmas Stridis across the frozen moor;
2. Father Christmas,Father Christmas, He's a hale and heart- y one;
3. Father Chris tmas, Father Christmas, Comes a-like to rich and poor;
Father Christmas, Father Christmas Knocks at ev - 'ry waitingdoor;
Frosty beard and bro ws they hide not Sparkling eyes that flash with fun,
Youngandold he loves and bless-es, Pain and sor - row he can cure;
O - pen wide and give him room,Joy and glad-ness with him come.
Though his years are man -i- fold, Still his heart's a heart of gold.
Praise him for his good-ly cheer,Mak-ing bright the clos-ing year.

In a sum-mer wood,
Stole a - way to play

Bus - y bands of ants were working Star - ing win - ter food.
Tho' her wis - er lit - tie sis - ters Cautioned her to stay.
Round wee lakes of dew she wandered Un - til she was lost.
Sunbeams danced a - way, and sha-dows Came in pur - pie throngs.
5. Just as darkness made
All the woodlands drear,
Thro' the trees a golden lantern
Twinkled bright and clear.
6- 'Twas a fire-fly bright,
Like a star he shone ; '
In the grass he saw the wand'rer
Crying all alone.
7. " Come, dear baby ant,
I will go before ;
Pierce the darkness with my lantern
Bring you to your door."
8. Safe he led her home
Thro' the grassy wood.
" Thank yon," said the ant, " hereafter
I'll be very good."

PART IV.
STUDIES IN TIME AND TUNE. A DRILL SUPPLEMENT.
INTRODUCTION.
Studies in Time and Tune form a Practice Supplement to Part II of
this reader, and are intended to afford material for still more exact and
educative drill.
Whatever the problem of the exercise to be taken tip, it is understood
that the child is not to approach it from his own initiative, but only after
similar technical elements have been experienced in a song. Thus the
studies in rhythms of two-four measure should be preceded by a song in
like measure ; the studies in scale progressions or chord intervals by a song
in which such scale progressions or chord intervals occur. In short, all
the practice, while becoming more and more exact, is nevertheless never to
cut adrift from the purely musical enjoyment of songs. Moreover, the
drill in notation will be greatly advanced and made vastly more thorough
if the melodies, after having been sung from the notes, and having served
their purpose in sight reading, are learned by heart, sung musically, and
then written down again in the original staff positions, or in others as
required by the teacher. This is not the same thing as requiring "trans-
position" at this stage; the child merely takes his scale upon any position
of the staff designated by the teacher. The object is to educate the eye
to measure staff intervals and to associate staff forms with musical pro-
gressions which have been made by practice entirely clear and distinct
in the mind of the pupil.
